And my point still stands.

When the next generation of engines become available, Airbus could choose to do a refresh of the A320 family at a fraction of the cost of a brand new aircraft.

Airbus can choose to do that because theres still a massive amount of development potential in the A320, whereas Boeing has run to the end of the 737 - even if there was still technical room in the 737, the public wont accept it any more.

Boeings only hope is Airbus choosing to do a clean sheet for the A320 replacement.

How does Airbus manage to build its sub-assemblies in geographically diverse locations, and then integrate those sub-assemblies on multiple FALs around the world? Airbus seems to have great success doing that - their only issues recently was with the A380, and that was due to a CATIA software issue at the design stage, rather than the actual manufacturing stage...

Boeing is considering a new plane because Airbus is considering a new plane.

If Airbus decide to refresh the A320 family again (and they can, theres plenty of development room left in it - it hasnt had a new wing since the 1980s for example), then Boeing will be in a bad spot.

The problem Boeing has is that most of the efficiency gains come from the engines, so if Airbus can chuck a new engine under the A320s wing for a fraction of the price and timeline of a whole new aircraft design, Boeing is stuck. They would be bringing an equivalent efficiency aircraft to the market, years later than Airbus, and have to charge significantly more than Airbus for it.

I tend to disagree somewhat.

By the McDD merger, Boeing was on its third iteration of the 737, with no new design on the horizon at all, and its fourth iteration of the 747...

Boeing was no stranger to wringing every last drop out of existing designs.

I highly doubt MS cares.

All the companies I have worked for since 2016 have been using Macs for development, and .Net for the language - deployed in containers on Linux in either AWS or Azure.

The company I currently work for uses Azure completely, and we get assistance from MS for the Mac-.Net-containers-Azure workflow.

The title is very misleading.

The maintainers were not "kicked off GitHub" - GitHub had no part in this, and the maintainers still have access to GitHub.

The maintainers were removed from a private organisation and its repos by the organisation owner.

As opposed to what, the massive magnets and magnetic field in the turbines that these ships use to generate power, and have done for more than 50 years?

No there wasnt a serious effort to survey every square mile of a bombed city in order to uncover unexploded ordnance, because it would have been a huge huge task at a time when the resource available was focused on feeding the bombed out city dwellers.

They didnt have the tech that we have today, so there are many situations where a bomb didn't go off and buried itself several metres underground with minimal impact damage, or fell inside the crater of another bomb which did explode earlier and thus hide all evidence of there being a second bomb. Millions of bombs were dropped, and cities were bombed again and again.

These things arent sitting on the surface being blatantly obvious, they would have been buried by their own momentum. You would need extremely accurate magnetometers, or ground penetrating radar

As a Brit who has moved overseas, this is extremely obvious when driving in other countries, including other ex-British Empire colony countries.

Its insanely easy to get a license down here in NZ, and it shows with the quality of driving on the road.

"Motorways rarely have hard shoulders".

Yeah, going to have to disagree with this - most motorways have hard shoulders, while the situation of no hard shoulder is much rarer and always called out by signage.

The stance which has completely removed all protections for women.

Because the shit hole you have created for yourselves is now seeing states not only criminalising abortion within their own jurisdiction, they are also criminalising going to another state for an abortion, or doctors in other states assisting people to have abortions.

As a traveller, theres plenty of reasons why I might end up in a hospital in a state which criminalises abortions and any treatment which may act as an abortion - I do not want my wife to die because we happened to be in a car accident and were taken to the wrong states hospital (its difficult to say "dont go there, go here" when unconscious), where she bled out because the doctors were too afraid to carry out a hysterectomy or something similar, purely because it *might* violate state law.

So dont you try and hide behind the "its the states responsibility" stance, you pathetic piece of shit. Your current regime has made it so much more than that and people are literally dying because of it.

My wife refuses to go to the US while the current anti-women stance exists in healthcare provision over there - imagine being refused medical treatment because that treatment might affect an unborn child, despite the fact that shes not pregnant. The mere fact that she is of child bearing age is enough for some states medical professionals to refuse certain types of life saving treatments, simply because it may induce an abortion.

So while we were planning on visiting next year for AdeptiCon and then do some touring, thats now completely off our radar.

Which didn't take into account all the services other countries buy from US companies.

All that software.

All that cloud.

All those apps.

All the financial services.

Conveniently left out of the equation.

The aircraft in question is a Dassault Falcon 900LX owned and operated by Luxaviation Belgium.

In other words, the aircraft in question is a private charter jet owned by a private company - its not a dedicated aircraft, its not a military aircraft, its not owned by the EU.

This is the end of this civilization and the beginnings of the next.

So now you've abandoned the wall of AI-generated text and simply short-circuited into manual nihilism.

Want to know how I can tell? Because neither time have you put in enough effort to realize that we're both identifying the same problems, and the original poster was claiming that "Young people are clearly stupid then" for seeing them and demanding liberal democracy with a robust welfare state.

If you want to decry trolling, look in the mirror and lecture yourself.
